Once, Elpis was little more than an unseen slime, adrift in the labyrinth’s shadows—until a world stone’s power awakened something extraordinary. Now, forged into human form and brimming with untested magic, Elpis must navigate the treacherous halls of Lunite Imperial Academy, where legacy is everything and secrets simmer beneath a polished surface. Adopted by noble hearts yet eyed with suspicion for his uncanny origins, Elpis finds allies in the clever Rio, steadfast Marian, and others who recognize his brilliance. But even among friends and glittering lectures, danger coils: the Seven Star Families, jealous of Elpis’s gifts, plot in the shadows, while forbidden magics surface in deadly duels and betrayals. When Professor Silnuncae reveals a monstrous ambition—and the Apostles of Darkness unleash chaos upon the academy—Elpis is thrust from prodigy to the last line of defense. Transformed by loss, friendship, and the fire of battle, Elpis must harness powers both wondrous and terrifying—surviving a Titan’s heart, awakening the might of dragons, and facing adversaries who wield destruction as easily as breath. As the empire reels and a new era dawns, Elpis is left with a single question: in a world where identity is ever-shifting, who will he become next? Step into a tale where monsters wear many faces, magic remakes the world, and hope is born from the unlikeliest of heroes. Will Elpis rise above the darkness—or be consumed by it? **Original Novel:** [Naver Series](https://series.naver.com/novel/detail.series?productNo=10834332), [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/65821045), [RIDI](https://ridibooks.com/books/2008049904), [Joara](https://www.joara.com/book/1792043) **Official Translations:** English

Now that he’s a cool college student, our anti-hero Iichan thinks his crime-solving days are behind him. Cynical, sarcastic and minimally engaged in his studies, Iichan is much more interested in his own feelings of disaffection and isolation. But despite his resolve to remain aloof, he’s pulled into the narrative when he encounters and bonds with a serial killer named Hitoshi Zerozaki – a homicidal maniac with the soul of an artist whose talent is on display at the grisly scenes of his crimes.

Following up on the high note of family ties on which the previous instalment concluded, but preceding it chronologically, we find Araragi and his little sister Tsukihi, the heroine of the last volume, in full sibling rivalry mode as they bicker about love. The conversation that cannot end unfolds in its unabashed original glory herein. Like KIZUMONOGATARI, which delved into our narrator’s disastrous spring break, Cat Tale (Black) is a prequel about another catastrophe, mentioned often yet never recounted even in a foregoing chapter dedicated to Miss H.: namely, the model student’s rampage over Golden Week, a string of holidays starting at the end of April.

An earnestly honest guy who doesn’t even grant pipe dreams to himself, physiologically incapable of letting a single contradiction go, in other words me, got dragged this June to a renowned academy for rich girls, no questions allowed, by the world’s strongest contractor. No matter how you put it, no matter how you spin it, there was probably no point to it. Because the case that arose there was, in and of itself, a bit of nonsense. (Source: Kodansha USA)

She tells her story to her former boss, Jackson, and he makes a startling proposal: that he and Taylor should get married as soon as possible and apply for custody of her brother. It's true that with the successful, world-famous film producer on her side, her stepfather wouldn’t be able to stand in her way—but why the offer? They were never more than boss and secretary.
